Pointed Magic

Famous quotes containing the words pointed and/or magic:

    “Courage!” he said, and pointed toward the land,

    In the afternoon they came unto a land
    In which it seemed always afternoon.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    There is no magic decoding ring that will help us read our young adolescent’s feelings. Rather, what we need to do is hold out our antennae in the hope that we’ll pick up the right signals.
